How Goju-Ryu Karate Gave Birth to Kyokushin

This Saturday afternoon, a new long-form documentary goes live on the channel.

This is not a highlight video.
This is not a myth-building story.

It’s a deep dive into how Goju-Ryu shaped the body, breath, and philosophy that later became Kyokushin β€” through Mas Oyama’s training, kata, body conditioning, and mindset.

πŸ‘‰ Channel members get early access before the public release.

If you care about karate history, lineage, and what actually works under pressure β€” this one is for you.

TODAY

Before karate became sport.
Before rules, belts, and points.

This upcoming documentary explores Matsumura Seitō β€” a lineage that preserved karate as it once was: direct, personal, and rooted in necessity.

Much of this knowledge was never written down.
It was hidden inside kata β€” waiting to be understood through bunkai.

The video is coming today. Members and Patreons already got access.

Forged by iron.

A documentary.

🌍 24 hours later the video will be released publicly

– what full contact karate was originally built for
– why these two worlds could never truly coexist
– and what happens when you try to blend incompatible philosophies
